Hide certain Gmail labels

// Backed up from http://userscripts.org/scripts/review/11774
// Last updated on 2007-08-29
//
// Based on Ben Hengst's Gmail Label Hider v0.02
// License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/GPL/2.0/
//
// HOW TO USE:
//
// Right-click on the Greasemonkey monkey-face to access the "User Script
// Commands" menu. Select the "Set list of Gmail labels to hide" menu item.
//
// At the prompt, type in the list of Gmail labels you want to hide, separated
// by the "|" (pipe) character.
//
// KNOWN BUGS:
//
// - Sometimes the labels don't hide themselves when you open a message. I
//   haven't yet investigated why this is happening.
//
// CHANGELOG:
//
// v1.3 - made label names case-insenstive ("drafts" and "Drafts" are the same)
// v1.2 - added ability to hide non-label things like Starred, Drafts, etc.
// v1.1 - added "Show All" and "Hide Some" toggle links
// v1.0 - initial release
//
